I'm trying to make a dojo xhrGet request using basic authentication but I keep getting 403 forbidden error. I can make the request with curl from the command line, so I know my credentials are valid. When I check the request headers, the Authorization: Basic header isn't even being set. What am I doing wrong:

    var lookupArgs = {
     url: "https://myendpoint.com/myapi/endpoint",
     user:"myemail@myendpoint.com",
     password:"mypassword",
     handleAs: "text",
     load: function(data) {
         content_node.innerHTML = data;
     },
     error: function(error) {
         content_node.innerHTML = error;
     }
 }
dojo.xhrGet(lookupArgs);

Request Header:

GET /myapi/endpoint HTTP/1.1
Host: myendpoint.com
Connection: keep-alive
Origin: http://my-origin
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/65.0.3315.3 Safari/537.36

  • Still don't know how dojo handles user/password params, but I got my request to work by setting the Authorization header manually: headers: {"Authorization": "Basic mybase64credentials"}, – roms Jan 12 '18 at 13:52
  • There was similar question on SO [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22054559/how-to-make-dojo-request-xhr-get-request-with-basic-authentication) with similar conclusion. – andy Jan 12 '18 at 21:23
